Also, sorry to few players today that asked me to show them how to do it. I was tired of the scenary after several demonstrations today.
Give the man a break...comon guys i did it on first try, no need for a demo, not hard just pay attention to the groups of skales and dont aggro(o boy i no that is gonna be hard for a lot of people )

Now back to my experimenting on uw solo builds for monks >.<

Holla!

do spiders have any elemental weakness?

is there a spiderslaying mod?

build im running only has 1 skill using nrg (flurry) so i can take out the zealous mod and replace it with somethin useful.

any ideas?

*nvm bad link here*

the spiders arent really hard to get to its a matter of watching the patrols and finding the best possible route. then running that route while watching out for your agro bubble

Flurry is 5 energy, and needs to be reapplied every 5 seconds. The 2 pips of energy regen from a warrior isn't enough to maintain it forever without a zealous mod.

I used Hypercam which can be found here:

For recording my session. Free download, trial period though.

Spiders have +Armor vs elemental attacks. And Wouldn't be great if there was a spiderslaying mod? Try somewhere in maguuma, sounds like thats where one would be.

There are other methods naturally, however I find that it just works quite well without much thinking. If your build is condition heavy (some opt for Desperation Blow) you could use Victory Is Mine! to pump up your energy and health every 15 seconds.

If you can get one of the builds that have been posted throughout the threads down with ease, it's all a matter of tweaking your build to your own preference.

SWEET VIDEO!! very concise and helpful. thanks.

but have to say that those skale spawn points are sometimes very bad, maybe some people arent having luck with that.

yea, this farm run is not gauranteed, there will always be some bad skale spawns. so dont count on getting there everytime.

my record as far as i no 4 days farming - about prolly 15 successful runs? and like 10 practice runs and some bad spawns, made over 20 shards al rdy. im gona start keeping accurate records starting this weekend since we barly get favor on weekdays.

I tried 5 times got to spiders twice so far but It's been waay worth it. 5 shards and a gold 14>50 chaos axe. This has gotta be the most fun farming spot ever.

Ectoplasm farming at the Underworld still seems to produce more money. My best single FoW spider run had 5 shards but usually I get only 2-3 per run. There is potential to have good items but same goes for UW too. This is rather new farming place so people might want to farm there just to change boring scene.

You can also farm some of those fire drakes, smoke walkers and infernal wurms if you aggro some patrols to them and then kill all the monks and then kill the rest. I don't know how far you can go. Maybe I should check some day.

I know it is in the desert and I know you need 5 bleached shells which only the wurms drop.

The collector is located just north of Thirsty River, and just as Racthoh said, it requires 5 bleached shells.
